Jets Trade Rumors: NY Exploring 'Big Move' into 2nd Round at 2019 NFL Draft

The New York Jets do not currently own a pick in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft, but that could change as Friday progresses. 

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, the Jets are looking to make a "big move" that would result in acquiring a pick in the "early second." Garafolo (h/t NFL.com's Kevin Patra) believes the team could be looking to move up for an edge-rusher.

New York traded its 2019 second-rounder last year as part of a package to move up three slots to No. 3 to take quarterback Sam Darnold.

It still owns a pair of picks on Day 2, though its first selection on Friday will not come until the fourth selection of the third round.

The Jets explored trading down from the third overall pick on Thursday night, but they did not receive an offer they deemed worthy, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. As a result, they wound up taking former Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

Unable to get a deal done on Day 1, New York general manager Mike Maccagnan let it be known that the team would look at possibly making a move for a second-rounder.

"I think we'll probably look into it," Maccagnan said on Thursday night (at the 6:09 mark), according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. "I think it's one of those ones where it really depends on how the board unfolds. Obviously there are a lot of picks to go through today and we'll kind of, like a lot of teams do, we'll huddle, and we've done a lot of work on trying to project where guys will go.

"If there is a player or two we feel is worthy of going up and chasing, we'll look into doing that. I'm not going to sit up here and say we'll absolutely do that, but I think every team does that more or less."

Of course, making a deal of that magnitude would not come cheap. The Jets only have five draft picks remaining this year, with none coming before the 68th overall pick.
